Classical symptoms of acute myocardial infarction include sudden chest pain (typically radiating to the left arm or left side of the neck), shortness of breath, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, sweating, and anxiety (often described as a sense of impending doom). Women may experience fewer typical symptoms than men, most commonly shortness of breath, weakness, a feeling of indigestion, and fatigue.A sizeable proportion of myocardial infarctions (22–64%) are "silent", that is without chest pain or other symptoms.

Kyle & Sammie - Colorado Heart Gallery

Kyle and Samantha are endearing siblings who are in need of an adoptive family where they can grow up together!
Kyle, like most boys his age, loves to play outside, run around and participate in sports. He recently learned how to swim and ride a bike, which he loves! He can also be found playing video games or on a computer. Kyle is in the fourth grade and enjoys school; he has a desire to learn and tries hard. He benefits from an IEP (individualized Education Plan), physical, speech and occupation therapy which will need to continue after placement.
Samantha, who likes to go by Sammie, is very friendly, energetic and generally happy kid! Like her brother, she enjoys to play outside, ride her bike and go swimming. Coloring, playing with dolls and playing dress up is always a favorite activity for this gal. Currently in the first grade, Sammie is bright, talkative and likes to read.
Both children benefit from counseling, which will need to continue after placement.
Kyle and Sammie's caseworker prefers a two-parent placement with few or no other young children so these children's needs can be fully met. We only accept inquiries on the sibling pair, who will be placed together. They have an aunt and uncle with whom they hope to remain in contact.

Build a Strong Healthy Body Without Going to the Gym

Most people are familiar with many of the benefits of exercise, such as reducing the risk for heart disease and stroke, and preventing obesity. Perhaps not as well understood is the importance of regular physical activity in building and maintaining healthy bones.
With aging, bones can become very weak and fragile — a condition called osteoporosis. It often occurs in women after menopause, and in men in older age. This bone-thinning disease puts people at a greater risk for broken bones, which can seriously limit mobility and independence.
Exercise is important for building strong bones when we are younger, and it is essential for maintaining bone strength when we are older. Exercise works on bones much like it works on muscles — by making them stronger. Because bone is a living tissue, it changes in response to the forces placed upon it. When you exercise regularly, your bone adapts by building more cells and becoming more dense.
Another benefit of exercise is that it improves balance and coordination. This becomes especially important as we get older because it helps to prevent falls and the broken bones that may result.

Tib-e-Nabvi Special Transmission 3rd October 2014 Haj-e-Akbar
we are striving to change the media landscape in Pakistan by offering a unique blend of programs encircling two properties, entertainment and education. Our vision has always been to educate people through enlightening information towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and in order to make Health TV every Pakistani's first choice in infotainment on Health and Lifestyle, we need your feedback using the various tools we have provided you with (email, social media). We encourage you towards a healthier lifestyle."
You can find more videos soon about Most Common Health Issues like:
Physical Activity and Nutrition
Research indicates that staying physically active can help prevent or delay certain diseases, including some cancers, heart disease and diabetes, and also relieve depression and improve mood. Inactivity often accompanies advancing age, but it doesn't have to. Check with your local churches or synagogues, senior centers, and shopping malls for exercise and walking programs. Like exercise, your eating habits are often not good if you live and eat alone. It's important for successful aging to eat foods rich in nutrients and avoid the empty calories in candy and sweets.
Overweight and Obesity
Being overweight or obese increases your chances of dying from hypertension, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, dyslipidemia and endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon cancers. In-depth guides and practical advice about obesity are available from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health.
Tobacco
Tobacco is the single greatest preventable cause of illness and premature death in the U.S. Tobacco use is now called "Tobacco dependence disease." The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that smokers who try to quit are more successful when they have the support of their physician.
Substance Abuse
Substance abuse usually means drugs and alcohol. These are two areas we don't often associate with seniors, but seniors, like young people, may self-medicate using legal and illegal drugs and alcohol, which can lead to serious health consequences. In addition, seniors may deliberately or unknowingly mix medications and use alcohol. Because of our stereotypes about senior citizens, many medical people fail to ask seniors about possible substance abuse.
HIV/AIDS
Between 11 and 15% of U.S. AIDS cases occur in seniors over age 50. Between 1991 and 1996, AIDS in adults over 50 rose more than twice as fast as in younger adults. Seniors are unlikely to use condoms, have immune systems that naturally weaken with age, and HIV symptoms (fatigue, weight loss, dementia, skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes) are similar to symptoms that can accompany old age. Again, stereotypes about aging in terms of sexual activity and drug use keep this problem largely unrecognized. That's why seniors are not well represented in research, clinical drug trials, prevention programs and efforts at intervention.
Mental Health
Dementia is not part of aging. Dementia can be caused by disease, reactions to medications, vision and hearing problems, infections, nutritional imbalances, diabetes, and renal failure. There are many forms of dementia (including Alzheimer's Disease) and some can be temporary. With accurate diagnosis comes management and help. The most common late-in-life mental health condition is depression. If left untreated, depression in the elderly can lead to suicide. Here's a surprising fact: The rate of suicide is higher for elderly white men than for any other age group, including adolescents.

Xin Zhui, also known as Lady Dai or Marquise of Dai, was the wife of Li Cang, the Marquis of Dai, during the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE). She gained fame more than 2,000 years after her death, when her tomb was discovered inside a hill known as Mawangdui, in Changsha, Hunan, China. After opening the tomb, workers discovered her exceptionally preserved remains alongside hundreds of valuable artifacts and documents. Her body and belongings are currently under the care of the Hunan Provincial Museum, which has allowed occasional international exhibits.
Xin Zhui lived an extravagant lifestyle. She enjoyed having her own musicians for entertainment, whom she had play for parties as well as personal amusement. She may have enjoyed playing music as well, particularly the qin, which was traditionally associated with refinement and intellect. As a noble, Xin Zhui also had access to a variety of imperial foods, including various types of meat, which were reserved for the royal family and members of the ruling class. Much of her clothing was made of silk and other valuable textiles, and she owned a variety of cosmetics.
As age caught up with her, Xin Zhui suffered from a number of ailments that would eventually lead to her death. Alongside a number of internal parasites, she also had coronary thrombosis and arteriosclerosis, most likely linked to excessive weight gained due to a sedentary lifestyle. A fused spinal disc probably caused her immense pain, which contributed to a decrease in physical activity. She also suffered from gallstones, one of which lodged in her bile duct and further deteriorated her condition.
After outliving her husband and, potentially, her son, Xin Zhui died around 50 years of age in 163 BCE. Her cause of death was a heart attack, brought about by years of poor health. She was buried in an immense tomb at Mawangdui in Changsha, with more than 1,000 items ranging from drink and food vessels, to silk clothing and tapestries, to figurines of musicians and mourners.

23 and 1/2 hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health?

HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM_PART 03

HUMAN ENDOCRINE SYSTEM : THYROID GLAND : It is the largest endocrine gland which is attached to trachea below larynx. It is bilobed or H-shaped. Thyroid secretes thyroxin. Iodine is required for the production of this hormone. The thyroid gland is composed of follicles and stromal tissues. Each thyroid follicle is composed of follicular cells, enclosing a cavity. These follicular cells synthesise two hormones tetraiodothyronine or thyroxine T4 and Tri-iodothyronine T3. Deficiency of dietary iodine causes enlargement of thyroid which results swelling of neck. This disorder due to hypothyroidism is called goitre. Hypothyroidism during pregnancy causes defective development and maturation of growing baby leading to stunted growth cretinism, mental retardation, low intelligence quotient, abnormal skin, deaf-mutism etc. in adult women, hypothyroidism may cause irregular menstrual cycle, myxedema or puffiness. Due to cancer of thyroid gland or due to the development of nodules of thyroid glands, the rate of synthesis and secretion of the thyroid hormones is increased to abnormal high levels leading to a condition called hyperthyroidism. Which adversely affects body physiology. It also leads to protrusion of eyes or exophthalmia, high metabolic rate and leaniness. Common salt is compulsorily iodised to provide required iodine to thyroid. Thyroxine controls Basal Metabolic Rate BMR. It determines the consumption of energy, tendency of the body to gain weight, physical activity, body temperature, heart physical development, mental development, muscular activity, nervous activity and sexual development. The hormones also support the process of RBC. It controls the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Maintenance of water and electrolyte balance is also influenced by thyroid hormones. Thyroid gland also secretes a protein hormone called thyrocalcitonin TCT which regulates the blood calcium levels. PARATHYROID GLAND : Four parathyroid glands are present on the back side of thyroid gland, one pair each in the 2 lobes of the thyroid gland. The glands secrete parathormone. The hormone maintains optimum level of blood calcium and phosphorus by reducing their excretion and mobilization from bones when required. Parathyroid hormone increases the ca2+ levels in the blood. PTH acts on bones and stimulates the process of bone re absorption. It also stimulates reabsorption of ca2+ by renal tubules and increases ca2+ absorption from digested food. PTH is hyper calcemic hormone. I.e. it increases the blood ca2+ levels. Along with thyrocalcitonin (TCT), it plays a significant role in calcium balance in the body. It is essential for proper functioning of nerves and muscles. If sufficient amounts of this hormone are not produced bones loose calcium and become soft. If the hormone is in large quantities, the muscles become very active and remain in contracted state – a condition called Tetany. THYMUS : Thymus gland is a soft, pinkish, lobular structure located on the dorsal side of the heart and aorta. The thymus plays a major role in the development of immune system. This gland secretes a peptide hormone called thymosins. Thymosin play a major role in the differentiation of T- lymphocytes, which provide cell – mediated immunity. The size is maximum during puberty but begins to shrink and becomes microscopic in old age. Thymus is degenerated in old individuals resulting in decreased production of thymosins. As a result, the immune responses of old persons become weak. ADRENAL GLAND : They are a pair of yellowish, flat, pyramid like glands which lie over the upper end of the kidneys. They look like a cap on the kidney. Each gland has an outer yellow adrenal cortex and inner reddish brown adrenal medulla. Adrenal Medulla secretes 2 hormones called adrenaline or epinephrine and non adrenaline or non epinephrine.
